[rancid] Re: lrancid / llogin

[Ron Whitney]

I've tried to use the lrancid scripts as well without luck.  Eventually, I gave up.  Pekka's question prompted me to try again.  Here are my details:

Relevant portion of .clogon:

add method      groucho         {ssh}
add user        groucho         {rwhitney}
add password    groucho         {password}        {password}
add autoenable  groucho         1
add backupfile  groucho         /var/named/p/mydoitbest.com

Added to rancid-fe:

        "linux" => "lrancid llogin",

Finally, router.db:

Groucho:linux:up

When I try to test, it logs on but issues no commands.  Eventually (10 seconds in this case), it times out:

[rancid at harpo ~]$ llogin -t 10 -c"BackupFiles" groucho
groucho
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rwhitney groucho
rwhitney at groucho's password:
Last login: Mon May  3 16:07:33 2010 from 12-162-57-170.doitbest.com
groucho 16:14:19 rwhitney >
Error: TIMEOUT reached

I get similar results testing lrancid:

[rancid at harpo ~]$ lrancid -d groucho
executing llogin -t 90 -c"BackupFiles" groucho
groucho llogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
groucho llogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
groucho: missed cmd(s): BackupFiles
groucho: missed cmd(s): BackupFiles
groucho: End of run not found
groucho: End of run not found
#

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  RANCID is working on several Cisco switches and routers and a couple of Dell switches.  So I know the base functionality is working.  Thanks in advnace.
